      Notes.

      It is said that Frank Budd meet Maud Stanley while she worked as a Cook at the Strangeways Hotel at Wallan, which at the time was run by his father, William Hartley Budd Jnr.
      The Stanley family were on a Farm at nearby Wandong.
      After their Marriage in Melbourne, Frank and Maud appear to have shifted to Pyramid Hill in Northern Victoria to farm for a period.
      It was here that their only Child, Anne Rose, was born.
      Before his Marriage, Frank had attended Melbourne High School and Melbourne University ?
      He subsequently joined Sunshine Harvester Works as an Engineer.
      Sunshine Harvester was started by the Inventor, Hugh Victor Mckay, who in 1884 built his first Stripper Harvester.
      In 1904 he brought the Braybrook Implement Works at Braybrook Junction, West of Melbourne.
      He shifted his Operation from Ballarat to Braybrook Junction in 1906.
      Braybrook Junction was later renamed Sunshine after the Harvester Company.
      In 1930 the Company merged with the Canadian Farm Machinery Company, Massey Harris, which subsequently was taken over by Massey Ferguson.
      Frank was fortunate that his work took him and his family to the Americas and Fiji prior to WW2.
      Anne and Peter (Roy) McGain after their Marriage settled in Pascoe Vale until 1972, then retiring to Anglesea on the Victorian Coast, after an Overseas trip.
      Investing in a farm at Kyogle in Northern NSWs, it was managed by their youngest son, Eric, until 1978, when Eric had an accident and lost his sight.
      Anne and Roy decided to move to Kyogle, taking Annes mother, Maud with them.
      Maud lived to the Grand Age of 100 years and 4 months.
      Eric married an American, Toni (a Nuclear Scientist).
      Eric and Toni have managed very well on the farm, Eric looking after the Avocado Orchard with the aid of a Guide Dog, while Toni looks after the Cattle.
      They also run a Health Food Shop in Kyogle.
      Anne and Roy have moved from the farm to live in town.
